Chords with lyrics

Guy Clarke sings this in Eb, the John Prine/Emmylou Harris version is in Db, so
transpose accordingly :)

CAPO 1 for Eb MajorEb

D MajorD           A augmentedA
I'd rather sleep in a box like a bum on the street
           G+G                A augmentedA
Than a fine feather bed without your little ol' cold feet
          D MajorD            A augmentedA
And I'd rather be deaf, dumb, and stone blind
            G+G       A augmentedA          D MajorD
Than to know that your mornings      will never be mine
          (D MajorD)            A augmentedA
And I'd rather die young than to live without you
        G+G             A augmentedA
I'd rather go hungry than eat lonesome stew
             D MajorD              A augmentedA
You know it's once in a lifetime and it won't come again
          G+G      A augmentedA         D MajorD
It's here and it's gone      on a magnolia wind

C majorC    G+G            D MajorD
I'd rather not walk     through the garden again
            A augmentedA         D MajorD
If I can't catch your scent on a magnolia wind

Break:
D MajorD     |A augmentedA     |G+G     |A augmentedA     |
D MajorD     |A augmentedA     |G+G  A augmentedA  |D MajorD     |

D MajorD             A augmentedA
Well if it ever comes time that it comes time to go
          G+G            A augmentedA
Sis' pack up your fiddle, Sis' pack up your bow
            D MajorD             A augmentedA
If I can't dance with you then I won't dance at all
          G+G      A augmentedA           D MajorD
I'll just sit this one out    with my back to the wall

C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
I'd rather not hear     pretty music again
            A augmentedA          D MajorD
If I can't hear your fiddle on a magnolia wind
            A augmentedA          D MajorD
If I can't catch your scent on a magnolia wind
